Was similar with the Leicester chap, everyone else was a bit of an afterthought.

The reality is things like fines are part of the rules of competition but even then it doesn't follow that should someone decide to challenge them in court they would hold up. Its just nobody has ever bothered to challenge them as its not worth the hassle. They can push for law changes but they...

5 things we've learned about autocorrect.

Remember when Pompey queried how poor the fit and proper persons test was, and remember at one point they were 'owned' by someone who quite possibly didn't exist, the authorities turned round and said it was basically a box ticking exercise as they couldn't do anything that was open to a legal...

You keep saying the EDL should do more but what do you expect them to do? You're confusing running a business in a legal manner with running a football club in a manner which the fans approve of. SISU, or whatever name you want to use, are a prime example here. They have not broken any laws...

He was on the last few series of Shooting Stars if you watched that. Pretty funny bloke, saw him in London a few years back and would definitely recommend.

Are these all people involved with drugs doing each other in or random innocent people?

No I'm talking about when there was a plan for a new trust in 2012 as the existing trust was ineffective and dormant. That became the relaunch of the existing trust with everyone having to sign up again and pay their membership. The change in constitution came later, possibly to tie in with them...

AEG, they got as far as meeting with the council. Reckon by their track record they would probably have done a better job of running it than the council, Higgs or Wasps. Stadiums | AEG Worldwide Arenas | AEG Worldwide Sports | AEG Worldwide Touring | AEG Worldwide

So you don't have an answer to the question. The old trust had to all intents and purposes ceased to exist - dormant for years, hence the need for a new trust. The current trust has recently received criticism regarding its inaction on current issues and as a defence CJ stated the Trust saved...

Why? The old trust was dormant, had been for around two years. It's the equivalent of Fisher coming on CWR and telling us we should all be thanking SISU for winning the FA Cup.

We're really scraping the barrel if the SCG is being included as a positive :emoji_smiley:

The only time I can recall a trust raising money for the academy was before the currently trust. It was back when we had the old version with the likes of Natalie Cox and Kev Monks. The one that got killed off for being ineffective and replaced with the current one. Although in the end didn't...

That's the problem. Same as if you made a rule saying clubs can't get involved in legal action. How would that work in practice? We might not agree with it but SISU have the right legally to pursue action. And who decides what action is OK or would all legal action be ruled out? If we sold a...

That's the big problem. SISU haven't broken any laws. Not sure you can fail someone's fit and proper test on the basis they won't chuck millions in that the club doesn't have to try and get promoted. You'd need to put specific rules in place around ownership and have the golden share return to...

I didn't really follow past that point as I was just listening in on a conversation between lawyers and it started going over my head. The general gist seemed to be that after they have thoroughly exhausted the judicial review process they can start a private case against whoever they choose...

I remember one of the lawyers at work, when we were last in court, having a theory that SISU know they won't win these cases but its all about getting information & documents for something down the line.

Would be the first positive thing SISU have done for the city if they can get Wasps to disappear.

I think you're essentially agreeing with Nick just coming at it from a different angle. The point Nick is making is not about what did or didn't happen but what ACL, the Council and the Trust thought could happen. Hence the huge panic they all went in to when it was revealed things like the...

The thought has occurred to me that in a worse case scenario of us having nowhere to play and losing our place in the league SISU don't have to liquidate the club. They could keep it in existence as a company that is essentially dormant while they see out the legal process. The club, as far as...
